There's more to the Liberty story, gets into nuke equipped aircraft warming up to go after Egypt.

The israelis KNEW what the ship was. Further, the US Navy refused to respond to the distress calls.

Yes these facts are well-known.. That makes the incident so much more shameful . Yet, no president has acted to erase that that shame and restore honor,

I certainly make enough mistakes. I would like to blame it on my hand injury or the dictation software but in the end it's my feeble brain. I am overcompensating by memorizing my name which is... which is....ummm. I have it written down someplace.

In ordinary life--or at least corporate life, politics, in law-- honesty is usually not the best policy. But for writers it helps a lot. which I guess is why the great writers were mostly alcoholics. I am not a great writer. I stop at one glass of wine.

Killing humanitarians in Turkish flotilla? Shooting down Libyan airlines? Jacob Rubenstein and Missed and Kennedy? Oh those Jews in Jewish State of Israel.

A real man: unlike Bibi and ZioAzovLansky/Lensky.

"Never in my lifetime did I think I'd witness a genocide. One person is trying to eradicate another. But humanity has fallen back to the dark ages, and 80 years after the Nazis killed 6 million Jews in the Holocaust, the victims have now become perpetrators," Jeff Monson, an American-born Russian MMA fighter, said in his recently published video.

The MMA legend obtained Russian citizenship in May 2018 and became a lawmaker in the city of Krasnogorsk, near Moscow. Earlier, he proved to be an ardent supporter of Donbass, which resisted the Kiev regime after the illegitimate ouster of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich in February 2014.

In 2023, Jeff announced that he would renounce his American citizenship because of his opposition to the current policies of the US government, including the militarization of Ukraine.

Read: Mossad and JFK assassination and, darn, Mossad and Silverstein and WTC and Building 7? Hmm, a good deal with those Jews in Jewish Zionist Israel supported by Jews all over the globe.

I have my doubts about Mossad and the WTC. But not almost anything else.

A co-worker who served in the US Navy in the Mediterranean in the late 80's claimed it was usual process to illuminate Israeli planes with fire control radar, as a supplement to the expected IFF processing Israeli pilots should have had - basically extra insurance to prevent another Liberty incident.

After the Liberty that tactic would be absolutely necessary. Of course locking on is meaningless without an AD system .

LBJ ordered the attack to use it as a 'false flag' for the US to enter the 1967 war:

LBJ seemed to be really into false flags.
